Good News!

“The true mystery is that because we are finite humans with limited understanding, we really want a God beyond our understanding.” quote by me (but I think I’ve read something similar somewhere but as a good researcher I can’t find source!)

My biopsy on Monday on rib area came back negative, so cancer still limited to my skin! Yay! That means my cancer is not in deep tissue, and they won’t have to boost proton doses to damage my ribs.

I met with oncologist yesterday, and she’s going to start me on chemo drug carboplatin next Wednesday to work as accelerant with the proton therapy. Before I got results of the biopsy (I heard this morning) I was feeling kind of overwhelmed as Dr. Patel and I talked. I felt like my life was getting out of control. I usually don’t feel despondent but it’s been a long 2+ years with Dan and my health issues. So thank God for good news!

I will be getting about 6 weeks of proton therapy along with the carboplatin. And that is all for today.
